Aardman Finds Exclusive U.S. Home on Amazon Prime

The U.K.-based animation powerhouse has signed a deal for its content to stream exclusively in the United States on the Amazon Prime Instant Video service.

The deal includes such beloved characters as Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Timmy Time and Rex the Runt. It will include new seasons and specials featuring Shaun the Sheep and Timmy Time, but not the Wallace & Gromit feature film.

Aardman is prepping a Shaun the Sheep feature film for theatrical release early next year.
